Brian
Lumley is best known as the author of the Necroscope series of
vampire novels __ some of the scariest horror fiction of the
last decade. What many people don't know is that Lumley is as gifted a
writer of the short story as he is of novels, though he does tend to prefer
the long short story.

Hence The Whisperer and Other Voices contains a complete short
novel, The Return of the Deep Ones, as well as eight other weighty
slices from the dark imagination of Brian Lumley. The Return of the
Deep Ones and most stories in this volume have appeared in the United
States only in magazines.

Lumley treats the reader to several of his best H. P. Lovecraft __
inspired tales, including The Statement of One Henry Worthy, one
of Lumley's first short stories. Also present is a more experimental piece,
the title story, The Whisperer.

Lumley's horror is evident in The Luststone and The Disapproval
of Jeremy Cleave, proving that one can be made to laugh even while
the hairs on the back of one's neck are slowly coming to attention....
